Ive been using starblast xl sand in one of my grow out tanks but its been a real pain to clean. Took it out this week for a second rinsing

I assume that i was being lazy and didnt rinse it well enough initially but does anyone have an idea if this would cause a tint or leach anything into the water. From my limited search i dont think so. To add none of the fish showed any negative reactions

Made from another company but same product. Likely same for the sand ur using. Talks about exposure to fish. It may apply here.

Thx Ron. Appreciate the assist. Now to make sense of it lol. Looks like at the least 2 of the 3 would pose a risk
